I do not remember the woman's name but she seemed quite nice. She had some other tenants who were a lot of trouble.

I tried taking Russian at the University of Minnesota but all the teacher had me doing the first of many lessons was doing the Russian alphabet. I was not very good at it so dropped the course. This was after I had earned my law degree at the U of Minnesota in May of 1989. I took courses in Dutch, German, Italian, Chinese and Japanese too there but just for fun.

I could not talk to the Russian lady across the street at all either.
